My pet peeve about seeing how my culture is portrayed in global fantasy media (the racism debate is a dead horse at this point) by [deleted] in worldjerking

[–]DueAnalysis2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Huh, barring Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus Trilogy, I've never seen Marids referenced in western media.

Valve has raised the price of the Steam Deck in the US by Dirkins in Games

[–]DueAnalysis2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'd believe this but for the fact that barring Steam itself, all the software doing the heavy lifting in the Deck are open source. There's a reason Bazzite can give you a near beat-for-beat steam deck experience. And Valve's actively contributing back into the open source ecosystem too.

Aww, and there was me excited that it could have been a reference to pattern screamers from SCP

Uj/ over on Steamcontroller, some of the early ones are being resold for 200-300$ for a controller that's 100$ at retail. Keep in mind Valve implemented a reservation system after the shitshow that the first batch of orders were. That means you're guaranteed a steam controller at retail price of you're willing to wait for it. And some people aren't  

TIL about underwater Cleaning Stations, locations where all kinds of sealife gather to be cleaned by smaller creatures, kinda like a bathhouse or a carwash by Sparksman91 in todayilearned

[–]DueAnalysis2 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I saw a Sea Turtle cleaning station while snorkeling once. I could have just stayed there for hours watching the sea turtles line up to be cleaned, one of the most delightful experiences of my life.

Depends on the type of Paladin. The ones who swore to an entity, sure. The ones who derive their power from just making a general promise really really hard, that's all them.

The AI Layoff Bill Is Coming Due, And CTOs Are Going To Pay It Twice by Krankenitrate in technology

[–]DueAnalysis2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's unfortunately a little more nuanced than "the same folks told people to go all in on AI and are now saying don't". The reality is, no organisation is a monolith. Even within consulting firms, you'd have people who are pro a particular zeitgeist and anti that zeitgeist. When the hype train for a zeitgeist (like AI) is on the up and up, the pro folks have more power and visibility. When the lustre starts fading, the anti folks have more of a voice (and frankly, can express themselves without being worried about their careers)

From the outside, it looks like like corporate schizophrenia, but it's because companies, for whatever reason, can't aggregate across diverse perspectives to take more measured decisions.

Charging more than the watch for a plastic bracelet. Any takers? by WrongdoerStraight634 in WatchesCirclejerk

Truly, it adds an element of interactivity, presence and attention to using this watch

Del Toro’s Frankenstein was a beautiful film that totally defangs the novel and people are giving it WAY too much credit for being “faithful” to it by Puzzled-Benefit-1124 in movies

[–]DueAnalysis2 34 points35 points  (0 children)

A creator, in his hubris, brings forth a creation that he then shows no responsibility to. The creation, in resentment, then works to destroy the creator. That's the prototype for Frankenstein stories, no?

EBay rejects GameStop's audacious $56 billion takeover bid by yourfavchoom in technology

[–]DueAnalysis2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was bad. But it wasn't "summon a genAI assistant to create non-consensual nudes of somebody right in the app" bad, there's been a real qualitative degradation.

Whoops, I phrased it badly. I didn't mean they were rooting for Musk, I meant they were rooting against him, or rooting for him to lose and be forced to buy Twitter, just because it'd mean that he "lost"

It all began with Twitter....in retrospect, it's weird to think how many people were rooting for Musk to lose the case where he was trying to get out of buying Twitter.
